Last week's Madeleine Sami episode of OR wasn't exactly gritty realism, but it was bloody hysterical. And are you really saying that Cheryl West isn't an iconic character?

Well, the Sami ep had a chuckle or two but it wasn't sidesplitting. Not that I'm expecting that. I suppose I'm looking…

So far, 9 hasn't completely fucked around with the scheduling of the Sopranos but it's only been 3 episodes so there's time.
